Willow Bend Ranch

Willow Bend Ranch is a Scottish Highland cattle breeder in Burkburnett, TX, Wichita County and the plains near Wichita Falls. Owner David Lowrance maintains registration with the American Highland Cattle Association and follows recommended health testing protocols for respiratory disease, Johne’s disease, and parasite control. With more than fifteen years of experience in selective breeding, he focuses on preserving the breed’s signature hair coat and sound structural traits. The herd grazes on open pasture with year-round access to sturdy shelters, and calves grow up alongside mature animals to build steady social skills.

The ranch combines traditional grazing methods with sustainable forage management on its family-owned grounds along S. Preston Road. Calves receive regular gentle handling from birth to nurture a trusting temperament. A focus on low-stress herd management, gradual weaning, and targeted mineral supplementation supports sturdy, climate-adapted cattle well suited to North Texas.
